Into the holes are screwed the screws M6, which serve as switches. Pre-cut the screws head and that part of the screw is tightened the cut rubber tube on glue or screwed plastic cap from any tube. You can certainly use ready-made toggle switches or buttons, but since the switches will need a lot (30 — 40), the toy will be more expensive.
 
Under the panel is a printed circuit Board from foil Micarta with conductors contacts for screw propeller — the “tumbler”. The structure of such switches, although simplified, however, as practice has shown, quite convenient and reliable.
